Holtby only wants Tottenham stay

Andros Townsend's return from QPR, and the signing of no fewer than five midfielders to the Spurs squad mean Holtby's chances of first-team football took a hit, but the 23-year-old is loving life at White Hart Lane.

"I didn't do the best that I can do last season, but I've progressed and now I think I'm getting more involved," said Holtby, who set up three of Tottenham's Capital One Cup goals against Aston Villa in midweek.

"I feel very comfortable and very proud to be here at this club, and I just try to do the things that I do best."
